In 4 yrs #CALeg & @CAGovernor have pushed forward unparalleled housing investments & policies – many implemented in the midst of a pandemic – & more intentionally focused on racial equity.
The #CAHousingPlan shows these efforts underway moving us from IDEA ▶️ PLAN ▶️ ACTION. 2/
The #CAHousingPlan seeks to help everyone from residents to legislators get a full picture of our housing challenges & solutions. It leverages digital tools to produce a dynamic “living” plan w/ interactive features to track progress & outcomes, & keep Californians informed. 3/
The Plan ensures "affordable homes are not only planned but actually built, address inequities by focusing on the needs of our most underserved communities, & use good data to track our progress toward achieving our goals.” –@LCastroRamirez.
The #CAHousingPlan Data Dashboard provides users w/ details on housing conditions & costs, households & their housing needs, & housing production at the state, county, & regional level – making the latest data available in an intuitive interface.
Included in #CAHousingPlan is a 10-yr Data Strategy w/ data priorities to help target anti-displacement & homelessness prevention resources, preserve existing affordable homes, remove barriers & support land use policies that promote housing for all.
To create the #CAHousingPlan HCD engaged the public via listening sessions & surveys. Staff also consulted state, nat'l experts in housing policy, development - academics, practitioners, other state agencies. Grateful for this collaboration to meet our shared housing goals. 7/
Never before have we collectively as housing partners set out such a clear action plan to address California’s housing need.
This isn’t just about planning, it’s about holding each other accountable & getting the homes we need built. 8/8
